Here is a hand from the LM pairs that I messed up pretty badly on, I was wondering what everyone's thoughts (other than "you total ****ing idiot") are. First of all, would you bid over 2N with this hand? Secondly, if you don't, what do you lead against 3N?

Scoring: MP

2N by RHO, your bid. Let's say you pass... Your lead after:
(2N)-(3C)-(3D)-(3N)-AP
Regular Stayman.

You have to lead the SA, you could very easily just run 7 spade tricks down their throats. I would have overcalled 3S.

I lead whatever asks for honor or count. If the Ace will get partner to play honor or count, then that's my play. If the King does that, then I lead the King.

Presumably you passed so you could run the spade suit against 3NT. I guess a good plan would be to play the Ace and try to run the spade suit.
